Thanks @ Ciaran Mk1 for this interesting, too.  I see you're based in France, don't hesitate to drop by the French message board ( http://gt86france.forumpro.fr/). |

As for the Japanese connection with BBS, this is purely for commercial reasons and definitely nothing to do with racial stereotyping
BBS have gone through two chapter 11's with the most recent around 2010. This ended up splitting up the company into 2 entities. BBS automotive (aftermarket wheels) and "BBS Motorsport". The motorsport wing was bought by a Japanese company so this is where the connection was established.
